Sarah, Amy and Liam stand on some weighing scales two at a time.

1 answer:

6 0

So here is how to solve the problem.
Let us analyze it first.
S + A = 70
S + L = 80
L + A = 80
Since S + L is equal to L + A, this would mean that S = A.
So S + A = 70 So A = 70/2 = 35kg
And lastly L. L= 80 -35 = 45kgs.
Therefore, Liam's weight is 45kgs.
Hope this explanation helps.
Let me know if you need more help next time. Have a great day!

A major baseball diamond is a square with side lengths of 90 feet.

iren2701 [21]

Answer: $\bold{a)\quad 90\sqrt2\qquad \qquad b)\quad 45\sqrt2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you are looking for the distance from home plate to second base, you are actually looking for the length of the diagonal of the square. Use the Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c² where a and b are the side lengths and c is the length of the diagonal.

$90^2+90^2=c^2\\8100+8100=c^2\\16200=c^2\\\sqrt{16200}=c\\\boxed{90\sqrt2}=c\qquad \qquad \text{which is approximately 127.28}\\\\\\\\\text{Halfway between home plate and 2nd base means divide that length by 2:}\\\\\dfrac{90\sqrt2}{2}=\boxed{45\sqrt2}$

Rick cuts a 12-foot-long ribbon into 2 pieces. One piece is 3.5 feet longer than the other. What is the length of each piece?

GREYUIT [131]

Its impossible there is no way to solve it because x+3.5= y no number can make 12 if one number is 3.5 ft longer than the other Ignore this i dont feel like erasing this part.

144 in. 42 in. greater than the other 42 + x = y Nvm if you convert the numbers too in. the numbers are 93 + 51 = 144 and if you convert it back it would be

7.75 + 4.25 = 12

Write two ratios equivalent to 24 : 9.

notsponge [240]

Answer:

8:3

16:6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's check if 9 and 24 have any common factor. If they do have any common ones, we must find the GCF (greatest common factor).

Factors of 9: 1, 3, 9

Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

The common factors both of the numbers share and 1 and 3. To find the GCF, simply compare one of the factors to the other.

1 < 3

Now that we know the GCF, we can divide the two numbers in the ratio 24 : 9 by it (3).

24:9

24/3:9/3

8:3

Now that our ratio is simplified, it's going to be much easier to find more ratios that are equivalent. 8:3 is already one equivalent ratio, but if we multiply each number in the ratio by any other number, we can get a new equivalent ratio. Let's multiply each number in the ratio by 2:

8:3

8 ⋅ 2:3 ⋅ 2

16:6

So, another equivalent ratio to 24:9 (and 8:3) is 16:6.
